Way less expensive and low-tech.

Here's the La Ventana link that shows the Chilibed and a bunch of other like energy-saving items in case anyone is interested. If anyone does actually get a Chilibed or one of the air-cooled beds I'd love to hear how it worked. I get really weird dreams if it's to hot when I sleep! :bounce:

Last year when my son was in the ICU with a head injury from a bicycle accident, they put a water-cooled circulating blanket over him to keep his body temperature down. It worked very well -- you could tell from the shivering.

Yeah, great!

Until warm humid air contacts them and results in condensation. Ever wake up in a puddle? Ever try to sleep in eighty degree air with ninety percent humidity?

To me, drier air is more important. A fan does the rest.
